Summary

An authenticated local attacker can exploit a vulnerability in the CLI of the Cisco StarOS operating system used in Cisco ASR 5000 Series routers. This vulnerability stems from inadequate validation of user-supplied input, allowing attackers to inject harmful command arguments into CLI commands. Successful exploitation provides attackers with the capability to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges, provided they authenticate with valid administrator credentials. This security flaw could lead to significant unauthorized control over the affected system.
